In and About Monte Carlo.

There is no one about to show the novice
the game; no one is solfcited. You play or
let it alone as it pleases you, but it gener-
ally pleases you to play just to try the
efficacy Of system" confded to you in a
happy moment by some sanguine tyro and
warranted certain to break the bank
sooner or later, a hallucination which
amounts to mild form of lunacy, most
common in and about Monte Carlo.
Palsied old men, with their noses on
their chins, and ancient danes who have
outlived the charms of more gentle pass
ions, are the most persistent gamblers; but
the ubiquitous American never fails to be
represented at some Of the tables; many
Englishmen and a large percentage of
young English Women-from the girl who
makes lark of haZarding her five francs
to the systematic gambling women, are all
to be seen, but all silent as company of
specters.
At II o'clock promptly the croupiers get
up, shake down the legs Of their trousers
with the air Of clerks let off for holiday,
the lights are put out, the great doors
closed and by IL o'clock to all appearances
Monte Carlo is decorously fast asleep

The Secret of Big Salaries.

People who can not understand why
some singers get big salaries do not know
that individual singers have individual
managers who receive 10 per cent. or per-
haps more of the salary for making con-
tracts for them. Here is q story that is
told in the profession, and will illustrate
the whole business: Maurice Grau was
travelling in Italy when he heard singer
"a basso, named Guarranini-at small
theatre. Guaranini sang very well and
one day Grau sent for him. He asked
through an interpreter what he would
take per week to go to America. Guaran-
mi was getting about 100 francs 500 a
week in the little Italian theatre, and an
swered, by way of joke, 900 francs q
week" 'Tell him" said Grau to the in
terpreter, "that will give him 5000 francs
a week" The singer was astonished, and
thought Grau madman, but his doubts
were finally set at rest, and he came to
this country at $1,000 a week. He was
with Abbey three months, during which
time he drew his pay and sang but three
times. Grau's percentage continued
whether Guaranini sang or not, and Of
course, the larger Guaranini's salary the
larger Grau's percentage.-Ch Charles Maple
son in Globe-Democrat.

infant Candidates for Baby Show.

A committee of doctors and painters has
met at the Casino Of the Cloitre, Notre
Dame, to examine about 100 infant candi-
dates for a baby show. Many were re-
jected. Several of the babies were discov-
cred to be afflicted with diseases and all
ments the existence of which the parents
were not aware. The doctors have re-
ported to the effect that baby shows might
become one of the best means Of sanitary
inspection, which parents would not
shrink from, but on the contrary would
court, in order to crafty their paternal
and maternal vanity and affection. Paris

HALO.

Love, had longed to pass my dreamful daYa
In some soft CLINE beneath unclouded skies
Where brighter suns on brighter prospects
rise
Than these, and earth richer realm displays;
But ever since I met thy starIilze gaze
This land thou hast illumined by thine eyes.
Thy smiles have robed these scenes with
tropic dyes,
And round thy path a radiance ever plays.
And SO I love these native woods and hills,
These rugged ridges, viewing with delight
This turbid river with its tribute rills,
Since over all is shed thy beings light;
And thus this cline my longing want fulflls,
For now It's soft and brilliant to my sight.

The Peculiarities of Horace Greeley.

horace Jreeloys
"The peculiarities of Horace Greeley
have all been greatly overdrawn," said his
son-lnlaw, Col Nicholas Smith Of New
York. "lt is generally thought that Mr..
Greeley was very much given to profanity
when excited, but all the time that knew
him [ never heard single profane word
fall from his lips, and my wife has often
said the same. His temperate habits are
well known; he never touched anything in
the way of liquor except cider, and singu-
larly enough was very fond Of cider.
Il have a little boy 8 years old, who is
named Horace Greeley, and he has inner
tied this love for cider and dislike for
other liquors from his grandfather, illus
trating the great law Of heredity. Mr..
Greeley was very positive in his con-
victions, to Illustrate: DIR. White, the late
president of the Cornell university tells this
story of him: In company with the pro-
fessor of Latin and Greek at the Cornell
university, Dr. White called upon Mr..
Greeley. The professor rallied Mr. Gree
ley upon his known objection to the dead
languages in the practical education OF
young men and hot discussion was COM
menced. Mr.. Greeley piled argument upon
argument until the professor was COM
pletely cornered.
"'You must admit, Mr.. Greeley he f.
nally cried, that the Latin and Greek are
the great conduits through which the
learning of the ancients have come down
to us?"
eyes said Mr.. Greeley, 7 admit that,
but, pointing to the water faucet, you see
that faucet; / drink three or four glasses of
water daily from that, and the water
comes there through the Croton aqueduct.
But, my dear sir, is that any reason why
should chew so much lead pipe?' st.
